(54) Printing system, portable unit terminal, server, portable embedded program and server program


(57) When PHOTO key of a portable unit terminal is pressed (Yes at S10), a picture is taken by a camera, and image data are stored in non-volatile memory (S15). The portable unit terminal accepts data input, for example, registration information, to be sent to a server (S25) When PRINT key is pressed (Yes at S20), the portable unit terminal sends text data input beforehand to the server (S30) and receives layout data from the server (S35). The layout data are produced by inserting the text data sent from the portable unit terminal into a layout template stored in the server. While the layout data are being retrieved sequentially, if there is a file name of image data specifying inclusion of a specific image, then this specific image is inserted for producing print data. The print data are sent to a printer for printing (S40).
